Is there kind of anything else you'd want to cover, dive in deeper or share some cues? We didn't touch on the windup phase, the torso.

Yeah, well, maybe we'll end with the windup.

Going back to fluidity, you know, it's becoming more and more obvious that that is one of the biggest culprits for people.

And I believe it's a culprit because hitting a volleyball is is maybe one of the more counterintuitive things because you're trying to hit an object as hard as you possibly can.

And in general, when humans try to hit something really hard, we tend to tense up, right? And so...

when you see younger kids hitting and even like the higher level athletes, you'll tend to see their hands stiffen, their wrists stiffen.

And like, if that's stiffening up, that's not up here.

I'm not going to judge that because I don't know what

I guess first, just kind of historically, what took you down that path? Why did you go this direction?

You know, I was an All-American in college, an All-American outside hitter.

We had played against each other.

And you know, you, when you're an athlete that hasn't necessarily been trained any specific way, you kind of just do, you know, your, your, your body sort of figures things out.

And I had, no one had ever talked to me about, you know, arm swing mechanics.

I had, I knew nothing about it, even though I was a kinesiology major in college.

Um, when I got invited to train on the national team and actually went to the national team because I could pass really well.

I guess, yeah, what would be others, or if you want to go more into that, just to get us into, yeah, the important qualities that you emphasize.

So just to clarify, step close is your last two steps on your approach.

Yes, the penultimate step, as some other people call it.

So for a right-handed person, you're usually, doesn't have to be, but you're usually pushing off of that left leg.

And so all you're doing is you're just gaining speed.

You're just gaining energy.

The faster, the more powerful that is, the more distance you cover.

Usually that means you're going to develop more energy, more speed in order to transfer that energy upwards.

So
